A cleverly illustrated guide to the humorous side of the historic sport, this book for golf fans features amusing stories from the professional tour and all of the majors--from the lucky bounces to the infamous gaffes--and the strange tales of professional golfers, long balls, aces, troublesome holes, early golf rules and practices, and hazards from sand to water to animals. The Wacky and Wonderful World of Golf also includes quotes and anecdotes from famous writers and golfers, such as Mark Twain, Arnold Palmer, Dean Martin, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Winston Churchill, Mickey Mantle, Bob Hope, Ben Hogan, and John F. Kennedy.
